What will happen if all the Cube users are destroyed?
A thick look of confusion hung on his face.
This matter...
Suddenly, it made him feel that his teammates dying in battle wasn't so shocking anymore... Li Xunle simply nodded, not speaking.
Xia Shan scrutinized Li Xunle from head to toe.
Seeing his luxurious equipment, he was somewhat stunned.
He quickly turned his head to Zuo Jiutian and asked,
"This... couldn't be our newly promoted Xia Country Guardian, could it?"
Zuo Jiutian's expression was complex:
"His strength is much greater than a Xia Country Guardian's, but he doesn't have the identity of a Xia Country Guardian..."
At this point,
Zuo Jiutian suddenly asked Li Xunle:
"By the way, Li Xunle, are you willing to take on the position of Xia Country Guardian?"
Li Xunle gently shook his head:
"I'm used to being free and undisciplined; I don't like restrictions."
Zuo Jiutian and Mei Changshu, among others, all showed a hint of regret.
In fact,
they had analyzed Li Xunle's personality before.
He was cynical and carefree, yet he understood righteousness and valued loyalty.
It was just that, according to their analysis, he didn't like to be restricted.
They had always felt that Li Xunle wouldn't easily put shackles on himself... So,
they didn't hold much hope for this matter and had never brought it up.
It was just that,
since the topic had come up, asking wouldn't hurt.
Indeed, the result was as expected.
Xia Shan looked at Li Xunle with a complex expression:
"No matter what, thank you for resurrecting me..."
Li Xunle waved his hand nonchalantly:
"It's nothing; I was the one who killed you anyway, so resurrecting you is just after-sales service..."
Xia Shan was stunned by these words.
The way he said it, it sounded like... he was doing business?
Li Xunle briefly checked the cooldown of Rebirth in Fire; it was ready.
So,
he gently waved the dazzling staff in his hand, and red flames drifted towards Zhuge Nong's body.
The flames enveloped Zhuge Nong's body, burning fiercely.
Xia Shan watched this scene, his usually calm face finally unable to hold its composure:
"Li... Li Xunle, what are you doing?"
Li Xunle explained with a mix of melancholy and helplessness:
"I'm resurrecting him."
"Ah, this..."
Xia Shan frowned, casting a questioning look at Zuo Jiutian.
He saw Zuo Jiutian looking calm, even nodding slightly.
Twenty seconds later,
Zhuge Nong woke up on the ground, his state of surprise identical to Xia Shan's.
After Xia Shan's brief explanation,
Zhuge Nong was half-convinced, curiously observing Li Xunle.
Was this young man really as amazing as they said?
At this moment,
Zuo Jiutian immediately said to Xia Shan:
"Xia Shan, tell us in detail about the Cosmic Cube!"
Xia Shan nodded:
"Alright, it's a long story; it starts half a month ago. That day, we went to a strange place: withered vines, ancient trees, and evening crows; small bridges, flowing water, and people's homes; ancient roads, west wind, and lean horses; the sun setting, and heartbroken people at the ends of the earth..."
A black line appeared on Zuo Jiutian's forehead:
"I know you like ancient poetry, but can you please get to the point and be concise?"
Xia Shan paused, then slowly began:
"I just wanted to describe it with a bit of imagery... Alright, to be concise, the Meow Planet People have targeted us. This involves a loose end left by Senior Ji Wuqing twenty years ago that wasn't properly tied up."
Zuo Jiutian was stunned:
"Meow Planet People? A loose end left by Senior Ji Wuqing?"
Zhuge Nong added from the side:
"I heard that Senior Ji Wuqing was able to achieve the Sword Immortal profession because he won a struggle with the Meow Planet People over a Cube treasure. It's just that somehow, the news got out to the Meow Planet People, and they've been causing trouble for us Blue Star people ever since."
Li Xunle listened, feeling strange.
Meow Planet People, does that mean there are also Woof Planet People?
And are there Ant Planet People? Stone Planet People?
This is too interesting... Ten Thousand Races, Ten Thousand Races, these are Ten Thousand Races that have become spirits!
Just as Li Xunle was struggling to hold back his laughter,
Xia Shan continued to add:
"The Meow Planet People even boasted that whenever they encounter a Blue Star person, they will relentlessly pursue and kill them... unless Ji Wuqing is handed over!"
Zuo Jiutian frowned slightly:
"How is that possible? Nonsense!
Not to mention that Senior Ji Wuqing's whereabouts are completely unknown, even if he were here, it would be impossible to hand him over.
Besides,
didn't Senior Ji Wuqing disappear in the Cosmic Cube a long time ago?"
Mei Changshu also seemed a bit confused:
"I remember when the four of us occasionally encountered Meow Planet People before, this matter wasn't mentioned..."
Xia Shan smiled bitterly:
"Yes, but the trouble is, recently, we heard that a Second Class Expert has emerged among the Meow Planet People, so they've come for revenge."
Zuo Jiutian and Mei Changshu's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.
The power of a Second Class Expert.
Both of them were very clear about it.
If a First Class Expert could contend with ten ordinary Level 100 experts,
then
a Second Class Expert could contend with a hundred ordinary Level 100 experts and easily go head-to-head with ten-star monsters and fierce beasts.
Previously,
Ji Wuqing had specifically spent a period of time hunting ten-star fierce beasts, obtaining enough equipment and class change books as reserves, before re-entering the Cosmic Cube.
Before he left,
he said he was going to explore the Fourth Star World.
The purpose was to provide some experience and direction for the growth of future generations of Great Xia.
It was just that,
in the twenty years since then,
Ji Wuqing had never returned.
Zuo Jiutian and the others had always harbored doubts and regrets, not knowing whether Ji Wuqing was alive or dead.
At this moment,
Zuo Jiutian suddenly turned to Li Xunle, speaking earnestly:
"Li Xunle, I know your strength is very, very great, even stronger than Senior Ji Wuqing's. After you go to the Cosmic Cube, please help us keep an eye out for Senior Ji Wuqing's whereabouts if you have time. I would be eternally grateful. If you truly find his whereabouts, this cube key and class change book will be yours as a gift."
Mei Changshu also looked at Li Xunle sincerely and said:
"Indeed, Senior Ji Wuqing is a pioneer of our Xia Country, and even of Blue Star. He has worked tirelessly and carried heavy burdens. Please help us keep an eye out for his traces. Whether he is alive or dead, we will accept it."
Xia Shan looked helpless:
"Although we have also been keeping an eye out for Senior Ji Wuqing's whereabouts, our strength is limited, and we haven't found any clues.
But what's clearer is that we haven't found Senior Ji Wuqing's whereabouts in the One-Star, Two-Star, and Three Star Worlds. We speculate he should be at least in the Fourth Star World."
Li Xunle fell into thought upon hearing this.
His eyes flickered slightly, as if he was contemplating something, remaining silent.
Everyone's gaze was on Li Xunle.
In terms of strength,
this ancestor was absolutely invincible.
There was probably nothing he couldn't accomplish if he set his mind to it; it just depended on whether he was willing.
If he was willing to look for Senior Ji Wuqing's whereabouts,
then the probability of finding Ji Wuqing's whereabouts would greatly increase.
After a while,
Li Xunle finally spoke:
"Which world do Cube Envoys usually stay in?"
Mei Changshu pondered for a moment:
"Cube Envoys' movements are mysterious and unclear, but every world has a Cube Palace or a Cube Prison. Generally, you can find traces of Cube Envoys there."
Li Xunle's eyes showed contemplation upon hearing this.
Cube Palace? Cube Prison?
He couldn't help but sigh, things were truly getting more and more interesting... Mei Changshu seemed to notice Li Xunle's confusion and explained:
"The Cube Palace is the Cube Envoy's residence within the Cosmic Cube, maintaining the basic order of a world.
And the Cube Prison is used to imprison some powerful and perverse Adventurers who disrupt order."
Li Xunle's gaze was deep:
"Whose pawns are the Cube Envoys? What would happen if they were all wiped out?"
